[Denver-pm] Better way to handle vars?

[Robert L. Harris]

OK, so I'm parsing a ton of data based on patterns in the lines.  Given the
line I pull out 3 things,
Timestamp
Key
Value

Right now for one of my patters I have

$Insert="insert into table ( TIMESTAMP, KEY, VALUE ) values ( $Timestamp,
$Key, $Value )";

( effectively ).

I'm going to have about 20+ of these patterns.  The actual insert is about
5x longer.  Is there a way to "template" the Insert so I can basically
reference the template in the pattern and re-use the template?  That way if
the template has to change down the line ( a new field added ) I update the
template and not 20+ variables?
